This week we talk about how growing up shaped everything—from our values and coping skills to our ideas about peace, purpose, and family. We look back at the people and places that raised us and reflect on the lessons that stuck.

We get into how barbershop culture taught us more than school ever could, the line between therapy and prayer, and how chaos, calm, and clarity all come in waves. It’s honest, funny, and full of the kind of talk that makes you think about where you came from—and where you’re going.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know what this niggas on. Uh it was a good week. I just want to give a PSA to the niggas out here. Uh you telling if you're a straight man out there and you tell another nigga that they're not they're ugly or they're not attractive.

SPEAKER_02:

He gay?

unknown:

Probably.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know what your angle is because I don't care, or or no man should care that another man calls them ugly or thinks that they're not attractive because us as men. If I don't if you're if you're not who I'm appealing to, um I don't care. But that's just the PSA because you know, and I notice in our culture particularly, we tend to go, oh nigga, you ugly. I don't care if you think I'm ugly. Now, if the woman thinks so, then that's one thing, but other men call another man ugly. I just never understood it.

SPEAKER_00:

Did somebody call you ugly?

SPEAKER_03:

I've been called ugly for years, but never by woman. Go figure.

SPEAKER_02:

Uh I thought you were gonna figure out. You just remind me of that uh Droopsy clip. Oh, you a nigga bitch. Yeah, yeah. Hold on, hold on. I found this guy on TikTok. I don't know his name, but he's serious. He he's the the self-proclaimed stud slayer.

SPEAKER_00:

Send him to me.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. And he goes around he catfishes studs and then he meets up with him. This is the funniest shit. And uh this nigga almost had his ass beat. Well, yeah. It's not Izzy.

SPEAKER_01:

Huh?

SPEAKER_02:

Is it Izzy? No, it's not Izzy. Oh god. But the one time she was like, okay, fuck it. You know what? These girls, these girls piss me off anyway, but she but he but she let me know you the bitch in a relationship. He was like, whoa, whoa, no, no, no, it can't be that way. She's like, no, I'm doing the best. Then I said, ooh, nigga, you got the right one today. My bad, yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_01:

Yep. Good week. Good week. Spent money, made money. Did you spend more than you make? Probably.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, I forgot this.

SPEAKER_01:

I didn't drive Lucille much today this week.

SPEAKER_02:

I made oh I it was also a good week because I made my last big installment to gymnastics this week.

SPEAKER_00:

All right. Now for the year. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

No, no, I still got my monthly dues.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, like the last? Nah. I mean, but like the fuck. The competition season. The competition season is now officially paid for. So now I gotta just save up for all those uh Saturdays of uh trips to these.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, when is the competition season?

SPEAKER_02:

Here they they start they started in January. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01:

You uh reminded me, Graceland, she moved up. They moved up. That's what's up. She advanced pretty quick. We're like she's in gymnastics. That's what's up. They're like, oh yeah, she needs to move up. And I was like, all right, cool. Hell yeah. She's way different in gymnastics. She's like she's poised and serious. Yeah, she just knows.

SPEAKER_00:

And is her competition season also in January?

SPEAKER_01:

No, no, she's in like kinder fucking so she's starting out. Yeah, she's learning what to do, but like, oh, you all right.

SPEAKER_00:

All right.

SPEAKER_02:

You say that shit now until you got and then it starts to cost. And then and then you look up and she's doing walking on her hands down a hallway. Use your goddamn feet. Shit.

SPEAKER_00:

No, let her walk on her hands.

SPEAKER_03:

You getting your she you're getting your money's worth.

SPEAKER_00:

Here's one more PSA.

SPEAKER_03:

If you cherish your asshole or or your taste buds, don't do the last dab at Popeye's. That shit's hot. That shit was hot. And my dumbass on some blackened chicken.

SPEAKER_01:

It's a sauce.

SPEAKER_03:

They have the you can buy the glass. They have the hot ones, chicken, the sauce. I bought there's their dollar a packet. I put that shit on a piece of chicken. I ate a little bit. I was like, that ain't bad. So I put some uh uh across the rest of the chicken. And that when I tell you the after-effect, because it it it's it sicks up on you, it's a delayed reaction, and it fucked me up, and my stomach hated me, then my asshole hated me. So yeah, if you cherish your taste buds or asshole, do stay away from the last day. Sorry you had to do that. I can think straight. People have asked me questions. I couldn't, I didn't know I was getting asked questions.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, you were out in public after that?

SPEAKER_03:

If my asshole starts hurting, I'm I'm in for the day. Oh, this is the initial reaction. That that initial when the heat kicks in, you that's why I get why they ask questions on the show. Because you can't think straight when you're thinking about heat. It's hot. Your lips, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Now you know how I felt that blow up when I said, Oh shit, who does this? Don't tell me that like a bitch. Like, bitch, just don't look at it and flip this motherfucking table over.

SPEAKER_00:

There's your week. I mean sorry. Are you happy to be back? Had somebody asked me a year ago, did I see myself sitting at a table with niggas explaining why their asshole be hurting? Uh when it's a good one.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, at least I mean at least it's fine.

SPEAKER_00:

I would have never thought it was this, this it would have been this moment. My week was fine.

SPEAKER_03:

In the world we live in, it could be from a multitude of reasons. Why is asshole hurts?

SPEAKER_00:

Well it's fine. He don't get us canceled. My week was fine.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, we might get more viewers.

SPEAKER_02:

Look here, man. That gay couple said they made uh 200,000 seven days.

SPEAKER_00:

We know. I love that for you. Um what were some major figures that shaped that uh that who shaped you to be who you were?

SPEAKER_02:

My grandparents.

SPEAKER_00:

We know you embodied an older spirit, which is always which is kind of a cool thing about you.

SPEAKER_02:

I mean, well, they were like, I'm not they was like religious, though, but I'm not as religious as they were. I mean, I was growing up, I was raised in a church, but that part we wouldn't have gased.

SPEAKER_01:

But I exit stage left. I was gonna say that usually is what happens. Yeah, we wouldn't have gased.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I got unchristian from going to a Christian college. So really, really? Really? Yeah, really. But why? Because some of the stuff here, like because when you dive deeper, you're like, oh, that don't track.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

That don't track on me, but that's cool.

SPEAKER_00:

They they lost me when they told me that the all-knowing God needed you to sacrifice your firstborn child in order that he can know that you loved him. That nigga, you already knew that.

SPEAKER_01:

That sounds some occult shit.

SPEAKER_00:

You already knew that. But we're on a different route.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, this might lose us some viewers. Yeah, sorry.

SPEAKER_00:

But if anybody that views and watches my page, they know where I'm at with it, because I say it.

SPEAKER_01:

Uh, influence, parents, family, whole family, because you know, uh, we did a lot together. Grandma for sure. My grandma was a different fucking type of human. Like 22 in the purse, but bring you inside and look at the case. She's Madea. Cook for you. My favorite.

SPEAKER_00:

Your name Granny was Medea.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh no, she was little, she was like a little ass lady. I remember we were somebody, some essay cut her off, and then these niggas start arguing with her for some reason, and she ain't back down. I was like, I don't think they know what grandma has in the purse.

SPEAKER_00:

Like Granny saying that, give you but what about you?

SPEAKER_03:

Uh my dad in his barber shop on 14th Street in Park. And uh it was because he always had like different characters that would um come into that barber shop. And I feel like growing up that kind of shaped me to kind of understand uh where was that?

SPEAKER_01:

Was that over here?

SPEAKER_03:

Right across from right across from Lincoln High School.

SPEAKER_01:

Where the cookie puzzle at right now.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, where yeah, right there in that in that area. Um growing up, that was my most of my childhood was being in that barber shop with him and uh watching him work on his feet for like 14 hours. And then uh I remember there was a guy that used to work there, his name was Sam, and I remember Sam used to always say some shit, and he used to always do this thing where he would like rub his nails together, and that was like a stimulant, like like he said it would help stimulate nail growth or hair growth. And I remember the last time I saw him was he was dressed like Superfly.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, that's dope.

SPEAKER_03:

And because it was Halloween. Okay, and he uh he never made it back to the shop. He died that weekend. Oh man, that's that's not where I thought the story was. Me neither. You just remember him being like that the old pimp, and he used to have this weird tick with his chin. But I just remembered like there were so many different characters that came in that barbershop, and um that that shaped me like wholeheartedly because it made me feel like there's all these different characters, and then I wasn't I was very anti-social, but it it it made me kind of realize how many different people type of people there are, and and then they're all of uh uh uh people of color, so it was dope to see growing up. Was the character it was like when so when I watched barbershop it has a special place with me because I remember what it was like to be in a barbershop like that, but you can also differentiate what's real and not real from Hollywood, because you would be like, that's not how a barbershop operates, but at the same time, the things that they did take from the barbershop, I'm like, it resonates with me because I watched, I literally grew up in the barbershop watching.

SPEAKER_01:

That still trips me out. Like, because my dad followed your dad wherever, whichever shop he went to. So I'm like, all this time I was in there and you was in there. Like, it took us that long. No, he would take me. Well, he yeah, but he would take me to get my hair cut.

SPEAKER_00:

You got your hair cut by his dad. And that's right.

SPEAKER_03:

But they was cool. There's a lot of that that's the the interesting history is when we met, we found out that our dads knew each other. When Tejor, when I talked met Tejor, I found out him and his brother, Brendan, used to get their hair cut by my dad. So it was like a lot of people in the east side or that went to north, a lot of them were cool with me because they knew my dad. So that's why that the whole term, oh, you just do the barber sign. Yeah. Because they all knew my dad at some point.

SPEAKER_00:

I've been in public with you and heard you tell somebody that, and they'd be like, Oh, yeah, like I know who that is. So I was like, Okay, man, I heard that. Not your daddy, the famous barber.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_01:

SPEAKER_03:

I could play in the street.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, whatever.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh I could play in the street too, nigga. You just might get chased by uh a doberman or a rock while I grew up in the street.

SPEAKER_00:

Like like we're not gonna be all day.

SPEAKER_03:

I visited those streets. I didn't I didn't live in those stuff.

SPEAKER_00:

We're not gonna be all day. My my mystery. My my figure that that um shaped my my life, my upbringing was probably my grandfather. May he rest in peace because he definitely was um more so of the father figure. And then um my mom had a had a boyfriend whenever I was like one. And nobody remember that shit. You was one. My mom had a boyfriend when I was one. He came into my life and has been fathering me since.

SPEAKER_04:

God damn.

SPEAKER_00:

And he shaped like him and my mom broke up when I think I was like fucking six or seven. I was young when they broke up, and he never stopped being there for me. Oh, that's nice. So yeah, like he is good man. Uh he's amazing. Like amazing. But you had an example.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh my god, Maurice. Uh God damn it, Maurice. I digress.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, you say that we all make decisions. I mean, I'm sure your wife had amazing examples, but she still went that direction with you. I mean, we all we all make choices. And here she are, she's in a great space now. Now, but I mean, we're not gonna remember her. Anyways, he was a great man, and he still is a great man. I still talked, I mean I talked to him a few days ago. Um, and he shaped a lot of of you know why who I am today. And then I have a cousin, an older cousin, he's like my mom's age, and shout out to Papa, that's my guy. And um he is the most like toughest, like, we'll probably knock your ass the fuck out. Sweetest loving person I ever made in my life. And he shapes a lot too. Like, like he he's the guy that a message uh, me and my sister on on Valentine's Day, like, happy Valentine's Day, I love y'all. Don't take no fucking sucker shit off these niggas. Like, he's amazing. So those are my three influences that shape my life. You got anything you want to say, buddy?

SPEAKER_01:

Where the fiends at. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, pubs.

SPEAKER_00:

Whatever. Give me one one life lesson that you uh carry with you today. From just in general, from one of the people that influenced you. Let's go, let's go in that direction.

SPEAKER_01:

Compassion. Be compassionate. That's the lesson uh from grandma. Because she was tough, but like I said, uh, whenever I was there on the weekends, there would always be some Jehovah's Witnesses that she would because she was not, but when they come to the door, come on in. Feed them, talk to it'd be like three hours. And she didn't change nothing, but it was always taught me how it would be welcoming and all shit like that. So I think I take a lot of that, the compassion part. Cause it's fine to be tough, but I think it's harder to show that part to people that you don't really know.

SPEAKER_00:

We need her in my neighborhood because the Mormons keep coming to my house and I'm fucked up and told them my name. So then John goes to the door and be like, like, no, she can't, she's not gonna come to the door. They be like, Desiree.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, I did that with the Mormons because they was fine. They sent some fine ones to the door when they're gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_00:

No, they didn't, because they don't even make fine Mormons. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03:

I seen them in Mobile and I was thrown because I was like, wait a minute, what are they doing over here? Like, but they were here.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I was in it's a really white neighborhood, so they probably were surprised when I opened the door. They exist.

SPEAKER_00:

Let's do a quick, rapid, uh, rapid fire round.

SPEAKER_01:

Did anybody else answer? I feel like I just oh you shit.

SPEAKER_00:

The way you give me answers, you over here trying to thot with the goddamn Mormons. Go ahead, answer. I did.

SPEAKER_02:

What was the question?

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, is you his life lesson or life.

SPEAKER_00:

We'll need his life lesson.

SPEAKER_02:

He gotta You can't control what they say, you can only control what you do.

SPEAKER_00:

That's true. I fuck with that.

SPEAKER_01:

Very true.

SPEAKER_00:

I fuck with that. These are not life lessons that I actually use, but these are the two that stick in my head that my great-granny told me. Okay, you sitting on the check that you're asking cash at any time. Shouldn't have told me that at five, but she did. And you need to sleep without your draw so your coochie can breathe. Well, shouldn't have told me that at five, but she did. And oh, and you always need to wear clean draws out the house. I do use that one because if you get in a car accident and they gotta rip your clothes off you, you don't be out here fucking embarrassing her with no dirty ass draws.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, to be fair, you could get in a car accident and shit yourself.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

You could shoot yourself in the car accident, and then you still got dirty draws and a clean underwear.

SPEAKER_01:

Yep. Yep. I was this many days old.

SPEAKER_02:

Hate y'all.

SPEAKER_00:

Can't stand y'all.

SPEAKER_02:

My wife told my daughter that shit, and I said, Look, I you do that shit in your room. You get my bed, you put some draws on.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, of course. When she shouldn't have been with her dad, but in her room, you women ain't supposed to have on bras. We just is just really quick. Women ain't supposed to have on bras and draws. Because we we need to hang and breathe. Period point five.

SPEAKER_02:

You gotta keep that pH balanced.

SPEAKER_00:

And the best way to do it is to make that coochie you heard the girl say, let that coochie breathe. And that was about the most informative information of that song.

SPEAKER_01:

She's a she's uh she's a saint.

SPEAKER_00:

She was correct. Let the coochie breathe. Okay, let's do a rapid rapid uh Kevin answered. Rapid fire. Damn. You didn't answer?

SPEAKER_03:

The older you get, um the harder it is to get either of those on the right track. So I would say start now taking your health seriously, maybe play some sports. Yeah. And and uh, you know, take that very, very seriously.

SPEAKER_02:

What sports would you would you have played?

SPEAKER_00:

Um in school, to be honest with you, I wanted to be a cheerleader. My mom didn't let me.

SPEAKER_02:

And sound like you should have been boxing.

SPEAKER_00:

I I wanted to box. This like true story, I wanted to box, and I and I told my mom this when I was in junior high school, and my junior high school principal was like, if you let her box and she came to school continuing to hit all the students, we we you she going to jail. So don't even let her. So my mom kept saying, I'm not finna give you new ways to hit the kids. So she wouldn't let me box. Dominique wanted to box too, and I think that was the biggest dick's big the biggest disservice that my mom ever did for me and Dominique. I know I heard it too. I said it, okay? I heard it.

SPEAKER_03:

But biggest you got you guys heard dick service? I did. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_01:

No, the biggest dick service.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, look, now we know what's what's currently on my mind. Biggest disservice that my mom could have ever done because I think it would have given us both um more balance. I I think if I knew that if I hit somebody that my my hands were gonna be like I was I was gonna jail, I probably wouldn't hit nobody. So just shit.

SPEAKER_03:

You could have said would you say it would be purping dick?

SPEAKER_00:

Shut the fuck up. Okay. All right. Okay, put your fucking tongue in park. Okay. I'm a rapper.

SPEAKER_03:

What can I say? Muckbame McCoy.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I think she should let us box, both of us, both of us, because now that I'm I don't know which one of us is worse. I think Dominique is calmer than me now, and it used to be vice versa, but now I think she's calmer than me. But my mom should have definitely let us both box. Don't put nothing negative on my girl daughter. Ain't no, I never say anything negative about Dominique. Like, I I tell you, for like the the first time in like forever, me and Dominique, we bickered like a couple like a few months ago. And I know you was wrong. I was, and I'm not even, I'm not, I I never front on my sister. I do not care. I was wrong. I was wrong. I'll never front on her and make it seem like she did something she didn't do. So we we what?

SPEAKER_03:

I was gonna say just don't let your past dick take your future.

SPEAKER_00:

You get stuck by dick. How about that? Damn, how about that? A backpack for you, nigga. Um about that. Um but we couldn't even stay mad at each other for 10 minutes. No, let's hear a nigga bitch. Yeah. Yeah. Uh okay. Leave me alone. Thank you very much. What I'm saying is we we couldn't even be mad at each other for five minutes. Like, I I love my sister. I don't ever say nothing negative, but don't do shit negative.

SPEAKER_03:

It's the I feel like this place is becoming a dictatorship.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh my God.

SPEAKER_01:
